Jeff Keenan, insurance investigator, checks out the car-crash death of film star Clark Denver in the south of France. He learns that Denver, and two other victims of recent suspicious deaths, all knew the lovely Verna Berteaux...and all had been patients at a private psychiatric clinic, being treated by electronically induced dream therapy. But the deaths are only a byproduct of a sinister plot; and Zakon, owner of the clinic, is due to marry Jeff's old flame Ruth... ------- In Europe, to inquire about the mysterious death of a famous movie star, insurance investigator Jeff Keenan (Rod Cameron), follows a tangled trail to a psychiatric clinic run by Paul Zakon (Peter Illing), fiancée of Ruth Vance (Mary Murphy). Doctor Maxwell (Meredith Edwards), head doctor of the institute tells Keenan they employ a a new form of electronic hypnosis, which helps patients by giving them fantastic dreams about another world.
